39. Special efforts to ensure coverage of all settlements/
population growths at the Census of India 2011
The ultimate objective of the Census of India 2011 is the
universal coverage of population without duplication or
omission.
To successfully achieve this objective, most important
instruction is to ensure coverage of all administrative areas.
It is necessary to give attention particularly to settlements and
habitats in difficult areas (such as forests etc.) which should be
located/ traced out in charges with the help of district officials.
 It must be ensured that all such areas are listed out separately
and are covered during Population Enumeration.

40. Special Charges
• The Defence and strictly Military/ Para- Military areas where the access of the civilian
Enumerators is not permissible due to security reasons are termed as ‘Special Charges’ for
the purpose of Census.
• The responsibility of conducting the Census operations of Military and Para- Military
personnel and their families will rest with the Officer in Command of the stations/ units.
• The Enumeration in these areas would be done by Military/ Para- Military Officials.
• The Commanding Officer or some suitable Senior Officer is to be appointed as the Special
Charge Officer by the Chief Principal Census Officer (Director of Census Operations, Kerala).
• As per Census hierarchy the Special Charge Officers will come under the Principal Census
Officers of the concerned District in which the Special Charge area is located.

41. The enumeration of Houseless Population is one of the important
aspects of population enumeration in our country.
 Households which do not live in buildings or Census houses but
live in the open or roadside, pavements etc. are to be treated as
Houseless Households.
Co- operation of NGOs working with this population may be
ensured for better rapport with them during their Enumeration
Charge Officers may request for Police protection during their
Enumeration if need be but sparingly.
It is important to ensure that Houseless Population are
enumerated on the night of 28th
February, 2011 but before 00:00

vessel which will be at any Ports as at 00:00 hours of 1st
March 2011 will
have to be enumerated at that Port provided they have not been

56. CARTOGRAPHY AND GEOGRAPHICAL
INFORMATION SYSTEM
 Census is an authentic source of political and administrative
geography.
 The Cartographic Division of the Census Organisation has
evolved over the years and is now the largest producer of
thematic maps in the country.
 It has come a long way from the traditional manual cartographic
methods used until 1981 and now utilizes the latest GIS software
to produce digital maps.
 ORGI and Directorates have fully equipped Map Divisions with
latest GIS (Geographical Information System) software.
 A new effort in Census 2011 was the preparation of digital map of
cities, up to the level of streets and buildings, using satellite
imagery.
 This digital map was used to carve out the enumeration blocks in
the cities.
 Various administrative &thematic maps available

58. POST ENUMERATION SURVEY
Census Of India2011

59. The primary objective of the PES is to estimate
the magnitude of omissions (under-count) and
duplications (over-count), or in other words, to
determine the coverage error & assess Errors in
response, or content error in the recorded
individual characteristics, with regard to certain
items canvassed in the census like age, literacy,
type of disability, types of occupation and
fertility etc.

60. • The PES is, thus, intended to provide possible
answers to the questions:
• (i) How accurately the persons have been
enumerated (coverage error) in the census?
• (ii) How precisely have certain characteristics
of the individual been recorded (content
error) in the census?
• These are called Type I and Type II errors
respectively.
Post Enumeration survey(PES)

61. • The Post Enumeration Survey (PES) of the population
enumeration of Census 2011 was conducted in all the 35
States and Union territories of the country shortly after the
population enumeration during April through July 2011.
• It was conducted in 4000 Enumeration Blocks of the country.
The primary objective of the PES was to estimate the
magnitude of omissions (under-count) and duplication (over-
count) of individuals in the Census 2011 in terms of omission
rate.
Post Enumeration survey(PES)

62. • At the national level, the PES has shown a net omission of 23 persons
for every 1000 persons enumerated.
• This is from an estimated undercount of 23.08 persons for every 1000
persons, offset by 0.10 person for every 1000 persons being counted
more than once.
